But this stop, and the seizure of Harrison’s giant stash, were not the end of the story. According to theNew York Times, the trial court ruled that the arresting officer’s justification for Harrison’s stop and search “was contrived and defied credibility.” The judge added that the search “was certainly not reasonable,” and that police had showed a “brazen …
